The

hk710

was

engineered

with

a

single

goal

in

mind.

Musical

quality.

Specifications

alone

can't

deter-

mine

the

sound

quality

of

an

FM

tuner.

High

sensitivity

and

selectivity

in

a

tuner

are

very

important.

But

at

least

as

important

is

the

ability

of

the

tuner

to

amplify

and

process

the

au-

dio

signal

for

the

preamplifier.

Which

is

why

we

paid

particular

attention

to

the

audio

stage

of

the

hk710.

Ultrawideband

response.

Our

ultrawideband

design

pro-

vides

audio

stage

frequency

re-

sponse

from

.1

to

160,000

Hz

com-

pared

with

conventional

narrowband

design

which

typically

provides

re-

sponse

from

20

to

20,000

Hz.

This

ultrawideband

design

delivers

audible

benefits,

including

incredibly

fast

transient

response.

Fast

tran-

sient

response

is

important

because

it

means

that

the

vast

complexity

of

fundamental

tones

and

harmonics

reaches

the

listener

in

exactly

the

same

time

relationship

as

on

the

original

signal.

This

maintains

the

spatial

relationship

of

the

various

instruments,

keeping

the

stereo

image

clean.

Sensitivity

and

selectivity.

The

state

of

the

art

makes

it

easy

to

design

a

tuner

with

high

sensitivity.

But

in

practical

applications,

too

much

attention

to

sensitivity

and

not

enough

to

selectivity

results

in

a

tuner

that

picks

up

many

stations,

but

doesn't

sound

good.
